Does it have any affect on regular incoming phone calls? Does this device know to ignore regular phone calls (I'm assuming it is always hooked up to a phone line) and just receive the designated emails?

The Printing Mailbox doesn't "receive" calls. It dials out to the Presto service at a few times during the day you specify, and downloads and prints any waiting messages. So, your Dad doesn't need to remember to reset anything. If he's using the phone during one of the scheduled dial times, his call takes precedence- the Presto service will try again later. No incoming calls at all.

As far as I know it hasn't. I do not get this incoming calling number on my phone but I don't get many calls. Hope this helps.

Yes the blocking feature does work. I get a great deal of unwanted calls. I just add them to the phones blocking feature and if that person calls again the phone will ring once and then go silent. Love that feature.

It should have no effect on your phone provider's service. The device works from your home. It blocks the signal as it enters your home. Make sure that you read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.

I just tried my system and could not detect any difference in the interval between rings, I did notice that there appeared to be a very slight delay from the calling phone to my base phone ring ( used my cell phone to call panasonic, both in front of me ) not enough to be a problem. Have had no issues with my unit and really like it. Problem could be on the phone company side maybe, do not recall anything in the manual addressing this.

It is my understanding that since you have to pay extra for voice mail from the phone company ...it is added toyour wire service coming in and will intercept your calls after so many rings.. then your phone will beep whenyou pick up the receiver to let you know you have a message(s). To be sure ..just call the phone company and ask them if having a plain touchtone phone is all you need for their voice mail system to work. Voice mail has been around longer than these newer fancy phones.

Yes if you have a separate answering machine or voice mail service which automatically picks up after a designated number of rings (even though you don't hear them). This phone does not have an integral answering machine

i would have to find the manual to answer that question. The way the call blocker works is that we really haven't had much need to block calls. If the number is not on our "approved" list (entered into our list of approved callers), it simply doesn't ring through, but the caller can still leave a voicemail. The times I have actually moved calls to the "R" list which blocks the calls entirely, is when we keep getting annoying voicemails from a single caller (typically a solicitor).

My provider handles the messages. I dial my number and receive whatever message has been left. I no longer have an answering machine. I think it is perfect. My favorite feature on this phone is being able to block unwanted calls. Such as out of area, anonymous and all the other needless calls.

Yes. It does allow incoming calls to your answering machine. I tested that the 1st day I had it. Also it will call you after you set it each time, but I now find that as agood feature since it lets me know it is activated. I simply hit "ignore call" on the way out my door.

Yes, when you set it up you have that option. What I don't know is how to set it up so I can stop the incoming message by picking up the phone--think that's a problem with my phone setup, not the machine. I have splitters, used to work with old machine, but now I think have to rearrange the splitter situation.

Yes it does...it doesn't always get the name right, especially bogus 800 numbers or people selling you "siding" but it does announce what it has as information on the number thats calling you ...kinda cool...allows you to let it go to vmail if you dont like to answer it...oh...only announces from the base...the handsets show the number and information, handsets dont announce out loud...i hope this clarifies your question ...

No. It has no email ability.. And the door/window sensors don't work as a glass breakage. Not unless you stick one in the middle of the window..LOL And their other wrong answer. It doesn't need a phone line. At least if you don't care about not having it call someone. Then it will just scare them away.

Even if you turn off indicators it's still informing you of emails texts or calls. It's the phone not the speaker.

I think that is just the way it's designed, for privacy when you have company, for example, so they can't listen. I have not tried listening on the handset after it rings, but maybe that is how you screen the calls. Thwy have a really good customer service department, you could call them during business hours. Im curious myself now! I do like how I dont have to listen to my own outgoing message every time it picks up like my last phone. That is why I did not by a Uniden again.
